Re-shaping their businesses and the communities they serve
The beginning
Founded on August 17, 1999 by Carl Russo (today’s chairman of the board), Calix was initially a hardware company, enabling rural providers to build fiber networks and better compete.
Transforming the industry
In 2011, Calix began a 12-year transformational journey and $1.2 billion investment to build a comprehensive broadband platform—transforming Calix into a platform, cloud, and managed services company.
A new chapter
In October 2022, Michael Weening was appointed as president and Chief Executive Officer, transforming culture, products, and customer relationships to lead Calix into the future.
Providers and their subscribers
Our end-to-end platform, cloud, and managed services democratize the use of data—enabling broadband providers of any size to operate efficiently, acquire subscribers, and deliver exceptional experiences.
